The Tell-Tale Beat

Lyrics

Verse 1

A vulture eye, pale and cold
Watching, waiting, my madness unfolds
A rhythm beneath the silent floor
A heartbeat whispers: I’ll pay the score

Chorus

The tell-tale beat, it echoes near
A growing dread, a primal fear
A guilty soul, a fractured mind
A crimson stain, humanity confined

Verse 2

A shadow crawling, it gnaws my brain
The silent watcher, my guilt's domain
A chilling silence, a vacant gaze
A secret burning through a crimson haze

Chorus

The tell-tale beat, it echoes near
A growing dread, a primal fear
A guilty soul, a fractured mind
A crimson stain, humanity confined

Verse 3

A splintered mind, the void takes hold
The pulse devours, the lies unfold
Each beat a knife that cuts my will
No silence now, no soul to still

Chorus

The tell-tale beat, it echoes near
A growing dread, a primal fear
A guilty soul, a fractured mind
A crimson stain, humanity confined

Verse 4

The beat grows silent, then thunders loud
The walls cave in, my guilt allowed
The truth erupts, claws through the air
A haunting legacy, despair laid bare
A grotesque vulture, cartoonish with a curved, bloody beak and wild hair, stares with bulging, menacing eyes. Cover art for 'The Tell-Tale Beat'
